Colorful Wings

I absolutely love the colorful wings on this butterfly.

Path through Brookside Gardens

Here is another shot from our recent trip to Brookside Gardens — but this one doesn’t have a butterfly in it!

Indian Ladder Falls

This was probably one of my favorite hikes of this past weekend.  It was apparently somewhat of a local secret at some point in the past, but judging by the number of people we saw on the trail, it’s quite popular (and for good reason).

This was another photo that was greatly enhanced by the Cokin ND Filter.  Without it, I never would have been able to get that milky, soft, water effect which I really like.

Raymondskill Falls

This last weekend, my wife and I ended up hiking to numerous falls around the Delaware Water Gap.  We had a great time, and I got to play with my new Cokin neutral density filters.  While I’m not quite done sorting all the images, this one stood out as one of my favorites.

For those who aren’t familiar with neutral density filters, Wikipedia has a pretty decent explanation.  Essentially, the filter allows the shutter speed to be slowed down so even on sunny days, motion blur can be achieved — a must for waterfall photography!  I’m still learning exactly how to use them and under what circumstances they work out the best, but this seems to give the desired affect!
